This half day course is designed for anyone who works with autistic children and already has an understanding of autism.

Current research suggests stress and anxiety affect the majority of autistic children and adults at some point in their lives to the extent that they cannot function and manage day to day.  This causes significant distress that often becomes challenging behaviour, which schools can struggle to manage.
